Module I: How to use ICT to enrich the teaching of Shakespeare

The new websites that are available to support the teaching of Shakespeare are extraordinary. You can take your students on a virtual tour of the Globe, investigate Shakespeare's writings, listen to podcasts of his sonnets, view movie and play clips in YouTube, and so much more. Your students can create transformations using Celtx.com or a visual representation for a character such as Macbeth.
